SECTION 3
3. Refreshing investments in basic
maintenance costs and secretarial and usage costs
Following the adoption by the Council at its meeting of 14 and 15 December 1999 of the resolution ESA/C/CXLIV/Res. 2, budgets are established under the economic conditions of the year of operations.
The same principles for updating budgets as applied to the mandatory activities of the ESA will be applied in updating the budgets of the Project Special. As a result, the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) for the euro area, published by Eurostat on 1 January each year, is taken into account. The budget will be updated annually on the basis of the HICP. The figures used are the figures for the month of November two years before the current year (for the year 2006, we will use the November 2004 figures).
Each year, the two ranges send to the ESA headquarters a summary of the Figures for the previous year on actual expenditures and revenues, and a breakdown showing the costs of each campaign. The expenditure summary is also presented to the CAP. Spending figures are divided into four categories: staff, current expenditures, facilities, and capital expenditures. Each category is also followed by an explanatory note. Actual expenditure figures are used as the basis for the breakdown of the four categories to be applied at the beginning of the following year with the figures for the new budget. The new budget figures are prepared by the ESA, taking into account the current HICP.
The Range Authorities have the option of reallocating the percentage of the different categories of expenditure during the year.
In Application of Chapter II, Article 4 (2) of the Financial Regulation, ESA/C (2004) 3, the CAP and the Administrative and Financial Committee are requested to recommend to the participating Member States to approve, at a Council session, the draft Budget for the following year.
